Free Web NovelChapter 33: Chapter 33: Successfully Purifying B-Level Polluted Meat
Yue Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Han Soi eat everything without leaving a single bite.
A big smile slowly spread across her face as he praised her cooking like it was rare treasure.
She almost giggled seeing his serious face soften while eating, his ears slightly red with embarrassment. Her gaze turned gentle as she watched him, wondering how such a cute man could become a villain.
Maybe he had not turned into a villain yet, she thought, since his villain mode stayed at ten percent. If she worked harder, maybe she could change his fate and make him a normal person.
That thought made her eyes shine brightly as she continued watching him praise her cooking endlessly.
Han Soi finally noticed her staring and gently pulled her to sit beside him. He spoke calmly, "Do you want something from me?" while looking at her carefully.
Yue Yue stiffened instantly, her eyes widening before she smiled sweeter than before without hiding anything. "How did you know?" she asked softly, her tone innocent yet full of expectation.
Han Soi reached out and lightly pinched her nose, making her blink in surprise. "Your eyes are sparkling too much," he said, amused. "You little hedgehog, something is cooking."
Yue Yue was speechless for a second before smiling smugly, clearly proud of herself.
"Yes," she said honestly. "I want polluted meat again."
Han Soi frowned slightly, his expression turning serious as he looked at her closely. "Polluted meat? Why?" he asked. "The mansion has purified meat already."
"There’s no polluted zone here," he continued. "You don’t need polluted meat anymore."
Yue Yue clung to his arm, her expression affectionate and stubborn at the same time.
"Just give it to me," she insisted softly. "I want it now."
Han Soi sighed lightly but did not refuse, tapping something quickly on his terminal. Within minutes, a large container was delivered straight into his office.
Inside was a very fresh B-level polluted prey, still emitting a strange dark aura. The meat looked blue and off-colored, clearly unpurified and filled with pollution energy.
Yue Yue’s eyes widened as she stared at it, her breathing slowing down instinctively.
She placed her hand gently on the meat without hesitation, her expression becoming serious.
Slowly, the darkness began fading from the meat under her palm.
The strange aura weakened little by little, as if being swallowed by invisible light.
The process took time, but Yue Yue did not move, fully focused and calm. Han Soi stood beside her silently; at first he didn’t know what she was trying to do, but when he realized, he became silent...afraid to disturb her even by breathing too loudly.
His eyes softened as he watched her work, his heart feeling strangely tight.
When the pollution completely disappeared, the meat turned fresh and normal. Yue Yue opened her eyes, looking tired but satisfied with the result.
It seems her ability is not much worse; she can still purify meat, but it takes much time because she doesn’t know how to control it.
A system voice rang in her mind...
Ding!
[Congratulations, host, for successfully purifying the B-level polluted meat.] freёwebnovel.com
She frowned slightly, thinking if she knew how to control her ability, it would be much easier.
Han Soi stared at the purified meat, completely speechless at what he had witnessed.
So this was her ability, he realized, the reason behind everything he felt before.
No wonder he never felt sick eating polluted meat beside her in the polluted zone. No wonder his mind stayed calm and clear without dark thoughts.
He had been eating purified meat all along, without knowing it. He had simply thought her presence was calming him...just like always, but it seems she is hiding way too many secrets.
Han Soi looked at Yue Yue again, his gaze deep and complicated, filled with warmth.
Han Soi looked at Yue Yue with a complicated expression for a long moment, then suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, his voice low as he whispered near her ear, "Don’t ever do that again in front of anyone."
Yue Yue was startled by the sudden hug, her face pressing against his chest, and when he released her slightly and crouched to her eye level, she saw how serious his eyes were, making her heart tighten without understanding why.
"Yue Yue," he said slowly, holding her shoulders firmly, "you are not allowed to use this ability of yours in front of anyone else. You can use it in front of me, but never before others."
Yue Yue blinked at him innocently, tilting her head slightly as she asked in confusion, "Why?" because she truly did not understand what was so dangerous about purifying meat.
Han Soi’s voice softened but became heavier as he explained, "Because you are very special, no female in the entire empire has an ability like this, not even a single one, and you can even transform into a beast."
He looked straight into her eyes and added firmly, "If others find out, they will not protect you; they will want to take you, so only use it when your life is in danger."
Yue Yue stayed silent for a moment, then nodded seriously, because she did not feel threatened by him at all, and trusting him felt natural, so she said softly, "Okay, I won’t use it in front of others."
Then suddenly her eyes sparkled again, and she grabbed his sleeve excitedly, saying, "But that means I can purify meat, right? Don’t you think I can become rich by selling purified meat in the empire?"
Han Soi laughed out loud, completely caught off guard by Yue Yue, and replied amused, "You are already very rich, Yue Yue. Why are you thinking about such small money?"
Yue Yue hugged his arm tightly and protested honestly, "Rich? I don’t even have a single coin in my pocket," her voice full of grievance, as if she had been wronged terribly.
Suddenly, Han Soi let go of her and took her hands into his and said seriously, "Then let me be yours; make me your beast husband, and everything I have will belong to you."
He pressed her hand against his chest and continued, his voice shaking slightly, "My heart, my power, my wealth, my life...all of it will be yours, because I don’t want to live without you." freewebnσvel.cøm
Yue Yue’s mind completely froze as he took out a ring made from an SS-level monster gemstone, saying softly, "It’s my mother’s most precious jewelry, and she had asked me to give it to the person I love most...and Yue Yue...I knew it is you."
Her legs trembled as she stared at the powerful winged serpent before her, offering his heart so sincerely, when suddenly the system rang loudly, "Congratulations host, first villain favorability increased by 35%."
Before she could even think, the system warned coldly, "If you reject him, villain mode will immediately rise to fifty percent," making Yue Yue panic as she stared at Han Soi’s earnest eyes.
